Ride 4 A Reason has 3 different routes for cyclists of every level and experience, and there's always a virtual option for those that prefer to ride with us in spirit!

📏 Routes

  • 110 Miles: Ride all the way from Oakland to Sacramento! The century ride begins at Oakland Technical High School and passes through beautiful bay area communities on the way to Sacramento.
  • 68 Miles: Start in Suisun City and enjoy some of the most delightful miles of R4R. This route begins at the Suisun City train depot, and riders can choose a shuttle bus from Oakland Tech (leaves at 8 AM) or take the train/drive a car to the Suisun City train station.
  • 45 Miles: Our most family friendly route starts in Vacaville and has less than 600 ft of elevation gain, making it a perfect ride for anyone who is newer to long-distance cycling. This route begins at a park in Vacaville, and riders can take a shuttle bus that leaves at 8 AM from Oakland Tech to the ride start.

🍽️ Post-Ride Celebration

All rides end in Sacramento at the State Capitol with a catered lunch and a rally to celebrate the riders and highlight the need for more education funding. Riders can choose to reserve a seat on the shuttle bus back to Oakland Tech or take Amtrak back to Oakland/Jack London Square.
